Course Information

A classic parkland course in the heart of Moray

Forres is a beautifully presented parkland course set among mature trees on the edge of town. Elevated tees, tree-lined fairways and changes in elevation give the course its shape and character, with views across Findhorn Bay and the Moray Firth on clear days.

The layout offers a good balance of shorter and longer holes, with a more open stretch from 11–14 and a distinctive closing run that includes the short par-4 16th over the Pond. Consistently good greens and year-round playability make it a rewarding course for members and visitors alike.
